Created in 1946 and 1947, these stories show Walt Kelly refining the style that would serve him so well for his later masterpiece - Pogo. Much of this fourth volume is taken up with an extended four-part cycle of stories -- almost a graphic novel, really! - in which Froggie and the Gang (including Julip the Goat) ship out with Professor Gravy on his showboat for an engagement downriver, which results in a series of action-packed adventures involving fisticuffs, gunfire, fireworks, and horse thieves!

Special features in this premiere volume include a biographical introduction, an extensive glossary by comics historian R.C. Harvey and a foreword by legendary columnist Jimmy Breslin.

Following the best selling Pogo Volume 1, this new volume finds Walt Kelly at the peak of his powers and features page after page of gorgeously drawn vaudevillian dialogue and action whilst introducing a host of new characters to the swamp. Created during the 1952 political season, Bona Fide Balderdash also features Kelly's acidic political satire and reprints, for the first time ever in full color, two full years of Sunday pages plus extensive historical annotation by comic strip historian R.C. Harvey and an introduction by Stan Freberg. [(W/A/CA) Walt Kelly]

About Westfield Comics

We at Westfield Comics have been selling comic books through the mail for a very long time. Our comic book mail order service started in 1979 which, as a frame of reference, was the same year that Sony debuted the technologically-astounding Walkman. (Just imagine: you could carry about 10 songs in your pocket - if you had an absolutely gigantic pocket, that is.) Anyway, we originally sold golden-age comic books but, over time, began to have so many requests for new comics that our founder, Sherill Anthony, made the move toward selling current issues by Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other comic book publishers through the mail. We soon had our paper order form and our catalog (both of which continue to this very day) and became a virtual comic shop. In 1996, we began to have a presence on this newfangled thing called "the Internet" and now, over 30 years later, have become the comics industry's premier mail order comic book service. We value your comic books and other collectibles, we carefully pack your shipments of comic books and other collectibles, and we continue to provide an easy way to order, be it on the Web or our paper order form. We continue to offer Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Dark Horse Comics but are proud to offer Dynamite Entertainment, Image Comics, and Boom! Studios, as well as most of the other small press publishers. We want you to have a mail order store you can trust to get your fix for Justice League, Batman, Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, and all your other comic book heroes and heroines. And we want you to have a good time getting it. Trust us - our mail order subscription service has been around so long for a good reason.
